This is a link to an article about a Seattle-area firm with a fascinating product: a portable soldering "iron" that heats to 800 degrees in 1/4 of a second and cools to room temperature in less than 2 seconds. In addition, it's very thrifty with batteries, getting typically 750 solder joints with 4 "AA" alkaline batteries.

This sounds like a great alternative to small butane torches for portable work. I just placed an order for one, and I know that at home it will be a lot handier than getting out and firing up my usual soldering station. This new device is not for SMT work and other teeny-tiny joints, but for field-day or DXpedition antenna repairs and normal leaded components on PCBs it should be excellent.
